Questions
Which languages work?
English for now. More languages, including Persian and Arabic scripts, are on the way.
How can I get better results?
Use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight on. Cropping to just the text area also helps.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Text recognition runs in your browser. The first use downloads the reading engine once, about 15 MB.
